#votingmatters<\/strong><\/a> is a new campaign from #Emilymatters.<\/strong><\/a> which champions gender equality and encourages young women to vote, ensuring that legacies of women, such as suffragette Emily Davison,<\/strong><\/a> are not forgotten.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s only 6 months to the UK general election.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

It’s only 6 months to the UK general election. Despite its best efforts Westminster fails to engage the majority of first time voters, especially young women. In 2010 only 39% of women aged 18 to 24 voted. There are some fantastic initiatives out there and #votingmatters is part of that rich tapestry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please join our #votingmatters Twitter chat<\/strong>, co-hosted by @Emilymatters<\/a><\/strong> & <\/strong>@AyathUllah<\/strong><\/a> on:<\/p>\n

Sunday 23 November, 6.30-7pm GMT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Format<\/strong>: 30 minutes + 3 questions (including 1 from the brilliant Powered By Girl<\/strong><\/a> youth activists).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tell us why #votingmatters to you<\/em> & please help spread the word!<\/strong><\/p>\n

We have a growing digital archive of audience feedback for my Emily Davison play, To Freedom’s Cause<\/strong><\/a>, which was performed in the House of Commons<\/strong> in February 2014, as well as inspirational stories and written encouragement that clearly demonstrate the power of suffragette Emily Davison’s story and its continued relevance to women and young women alike.<\/p>\n

Our #DearLauren<\/a><\/strong> message to a first time voter social media campaign brought in a positive encouragement from across the UK and beyond in time for Emily Davison’s birthday on 11th October.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Dear<\/a><\/p>\n

.<\/p>\n

Many of the messages came from young women and we’ll be sharing some more of these over the coming days.<\/p>\n

Much of the #votingmatters<\/a>\u00a0campaign in the run up to the UK general election will be focused on social media.<\/p>\n
